I can understand why Laird doesn't have a stop sign. It appears to be a steep hill so it can be a safety issue when cars have to stop then go which could cause the car to roll back into the car behind it. There's a similar road like that here with a signal light and cars are always rolling backwards nearly causing accidents.
The cop in this case was just throwing a temper tantrum cause you did not bow down to his royal corruptness and let him go ahead of you. I had a similar thing happen when I didn't let one walk in front of my car and floored it, he smacked the passenger window nearly breaking it. I just laughed as I watched him throw a hissy fit.
